Note 5-1: This pin (CS#) is the chip select input connecting to the MCU. The chip 
is enabled for MCU communication only when CS# is pulled LOW. 
Note 5-2: This pin is (D/C#) Data/Command control pin connecting to the MCU in 
4-wire SPI mode. When the pin is pulled HIGH, the data at SDA will be interpreted
as data. When the pin is pulled LOW, the data at SDA will be interpreted as
command.
Note 5-3: This pin (RES#) is reset signal input. The Reset is active low.
 
Note 5-4: This pin is Busy state output pin. When Busy is High, the operation of
chip should not be interrupted, command should not be sent. The chip would put
Busy pin High when –Outputting display waveform -Communicating with digital
